  1. Bannon sounds extreme, but he's not. He's a realist.

  2. They won't stop oil war until U.S. shale industry is bankrupt.

  3. Renters have learned from Trump. "Okay, sue me"

  4. I upped the playback speed so I could listen to everything. He's surprisingly knowledgeable and straightforward. He's honest about needing to tax the rich and help the poor. He's right about climate change. Greenland had some rain over the winter, Siberian permafrost is starting to release vast amounts of methane, these are the feedback loops climate watchers have feared. Feedback means warmth causes more warmth, melting causes more melting.

  5. The Fed is doing what they want, legal or not.

  6. Iran did not attack the U.S.

  7. Saying "democracies are harder to govern" is another way of saying " the wealthy self-serving ruling elite is having a harder time keeping the 99% ignorant of how the 1% who bought governments so they pay minimum taxes while getting the maximum protection of their own wealth at the expense of everyone else"

  8. Republicans won't give the average American money without the wealthy getting more. How about a flat $1200 for everyone first. Work out the rest later.

  9. "too many companies have too much debt" Isn't that the real problem? Drillers gambled and lost.

  10. Brandon Rossi The system now is robbery of the poor and middle class. Billionaires who do everything to avoid taxes are also refusing to support the government that protects their wealth. They need to be forced to pay taxes like everyone else.

  11. Federal Reserve can either raise rates until inflation and economy crash to get a restart, or inflation will go hyper and economy will crash. Real inflation is at 16%, does anyone see any prices for anything not going up?

  12. Welcome to Republican Communist Party. Socialism for all, especially their wealthy friends.

  13. The economy never fully recovered from 1974, 2001, 2008. The U.S. economy always gets weaker as China gets stronger. Inflation gives the illusion the economy recovers. For the average worker, things always get worse. Pensions and benefits have gone to nothing, debt has gone crazy from student loans and obscene credit card rates. Laws are passed to benefit Wall Street along with the Federal Reserve backstopping poorly run banks and corporations.

  14. A couple months too late. The virus is likely in every continent and most countries in the world.

  15. Boeing can go bankrupt like GM in 2008. GM didn't disappear, it was reconstituted. I say I'm an eligible company, give me a billion dollars.

  16. Did he pay taxes on the gift?

  17. Republicans should listen to Trump and not vote.

  18. What a lie. I live in Chicago. There are long lines to get virus testing and no antibody testing in Chicago.

  19. There won't be layoffs except in the cruise industry, convention, airlines, travel, hotels, retail, auto and certain manufacturers dependent on Chinese parts. Well, let me add construction. Everyone else will be safe for a few more weeks.

  20. Looks like all these companies taking on debt to buy their own stocks was a bad idea.

  21. Cramer is such a joke.

  22. Communism in an unprecedented scale. The government picking winners and losers in business. Free market capitalism is dead.

  23. Death toll will stay low only if economy stays on lockdown.

  24. A 20% rise in rent and housing prices translates to 5% in official government figures.

  25. Germany did the same thing after World War I when they had deflation, fixed deflation good - hyperinflation.

  26. Worldwide slowdown, Brexit and trade war is what's different this time.

  27. I'm old; I invest for fun and to leave my niece rich someday

  28. We had a war, that's what destroyed the economy.

  29. Make it illegal to short stocks?
    5
  30. Speculative rise in the price of oil, otherwise known as a "bear trap."

  31. Trump is having a trade war with China and is starting a war with Iran. Right, great advice.

  32. Nobody is forced to buy an iPhone. Android is available to anyone.

  33. You mean like mosquitos?

  34. Weren't they saying how good retail sales were around Thanksgiving?

  35. Everyone in the U.S. gets to pay in inflation or taxes this $2.2 trillion plus what the Federal Reserve is doing plus the $1 trillion dollar yearly budget deficit. That's $6,600 for every person in the U.S. for this bill plus $3,000 for the annual budget deficit and double that for what the Federal Reserve is doing. We are all $18,000 per person in further in debt.

  36. You're such a selfish peasant. How can CEO's and Wall street make hundreds of millions if they give peasants a break? I mean... if they don't rip people off.

  37. Yellen is lying. How can she ignore monetary policy in creating inflation? Under 1980 calculations they used to use inflation is at 13%. They seem to be ignoring shrinkage where people buy less packaged product for the same price. There’s been about a 30% increase in the price of gas.
    5
  38. Apple has a monopoly on its own product line, like doesn’t that apply to every company’s product line?
    5
  39. Shrinking portions at stores for the same price, major appliances and building supplies are up 20% in the last year. Home, auto, food and gasoline prices are higher. Of course, Powell sits in a chair, reads reports, has lots of money and never buys anything wouldn't notice.

  40. It's immediate. This is not a normal crash.

  41. Malls can issue bonds, stocks or go out of business, it's the way of capitalism. The Federal Reserve and banks apply liquidity.

  42. How many mistakes does Trump have to make for some stock promoter to admit Trump constantly screws up and he's effecting the economy badly? Does any of these guys look back in stock history to see that the Fed always cuts rates as stocks collapse in value?

  43. Goru Minosyan End the Fed involvement in the repo market, that's corporate welfare.
    4
  44. There is no Saudi or Russian oil sold in the U.S. The problem is the crash in domestic consumption. U.S. oil producers are destroying themselves.
    4
  45. You made this up.

  46. There's a need for corporations to go into bankruptcy. They borrowed and bought their stocks to jackup stock prices instead of building reserves. Let them go under like GM in 2008 and restart as a new corporation. If the banks lose too much, they also go under and the Federal Reserve will take them over. Investors need to lose from bad decisions or we're another form of Marxist society.

  47. Can we really believe any statistics out of the Trump government?
    4
  48. Maybe there's some software where we could put a clown outfit on him while he talks and waves his hands. He really sounds messed up, like an alcoholic.

  49. She's right about opposing socialist welfare for the wealthy corporations like Amazon.

  50. Slippery slope like income taxes, eventually will hit all of us.
